English term

high-wattage switching

English to French Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Relays
Featuring 37A short-term and 5A continuous current carrying capacity, and a durability of 100,000 operations at rated load, G8K devices can deliver high-wattage switching despite the compact format as a result of the contacts and heat-release design.

This is refering to miniature relays for automotive applications

commutation de haute puissances

It's unusual to talk about 'wattage' in this context — it is more usually 'power', and very often, it is the 'current' that matters in a switching context.
However, I can see that here they may be in a low voltage / high current situation, which probably directed their choice of terminology.
I was unsure about the 'de' — but it is 'switching of high power loads', so I feel 'd' is probably more relevant here than (say) 'à'
Peer comment(s):

neutral Patrick Arbaut : Oui, dans le contexte des relais, je pense qu'ils se réfèrent à un courant de commutation (max switching current) https://www.ttieurope.com/content/dam/tti-europe/manufacture...

commutation haute puissance

La commutation de puissance est la transition de l'état ON à l'état OFF d'un circuit ou d'un composant.
Cela peut aussi être l'inverse, de OFF à ON.
